Carolina Panthers C Ryan Kalil (shoulder) will return to action in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints and will wear a harness to protect himself from aggravating the shoulder injury that has caused him to miss the last two games.

Carolina Panthers DE Charles Johnson (calf, back, neck) played 78% of the defensive snaps in Week 1 after not playing in the preseason at all, and head coach Ron Rivera thinks Johnson might've been used too much. C Ryan Kalil (knee) played on every offensive snap even though the initial plan was to rest him some.
